The Last Refuge of Failure is Myth: The REAL Ronald Reagan | Addicting Info

I remember how things were at the end of the Reagan era. I remember the working class had nothing. I remember that if Reaganomics continued unchecked it would lead to a working class revolution. I remember that I voted to re-elect bush sr. just to help make sure that happened. The Clinlton presidency put enough salve on the wound to post-pone this working class revolution for a decade or so. ...But, the writing is on the wall. The working class is being reduced to a slave class - and they can't see it. Yet. The Occupy movements are groups of people testing the waters, finding out where the power is and who the armies of the rich are. It's coming folks, a working class revolution. I wonder if humanity will survive it? This article is a super good read that reminds us what Reaganomics were really about. The conservatives would like us to think that they are continuing the work of Reagan, but, those who remember know better. Well, except that the economy is sliding downhill so fast that there may be no real recovery from the past policies. Pay close attention to the graphs. They tell the story.

As I left my last client of my last day as a Preferred employee, I was treated to the most perfect and beautiful rainbow. I hope this isn't a promise not to flood my life with people who love what I do and think I'm awsome ever again! :) Once I get my billings and notes finished I will officially be unemployed - for 3 whole days! Should I apply for unemployment benefits? :)

An article about how conservatives show signs of sociopathy. I liked it, so I'm sharing it. "These people are sociopaths, pure and simple. As long as they get what they “deserve”, it doesn’t matter what happens to anyone else. Homeless families are not their problem. Malnourished children are not their problem. Uninsured sick people are not their problem. The elderly reduced to abject poverty (as they were before the advent of Social Security) are not their problem."

This article is quite late, but the message needs to be repeated as often as necessary to undo the stigma of mental illness in the public consciousness.'Mental illness' not an explanation for violence
